Hi Max

I have written repeatedly that domestic mowers have become a
mere appliance in the modern world.

I hate that toys are now presented as lawnmowers.

Robot mowers have a long heritage - and I guess it was all
about labour-saving in households. I get that. Its an interesting topic
until it becomes main-stream ... when virtual becomes reality.

We have become slaves to a dangerous trend...
I mean, why vacuum your house - a robot can do that!
Thank you Roomba! F U Roomba.

For me, robotic mowers say - don't engage with nature.
Don't do physical activity in the garden. Gardens should be enjoyed from a distance.
Gardening steals our valuable time. Shame on nature!

If this trend continues then robotic lawnmowers are a god-send
to mower makers. Makers ask stupid prices for toys that have little
re-sale value. It's clever - how many consumers are conned.

Hey, Siri, what should I think today? mad

p.s. We need to get out and smell the roses.

p.s.2 (not the Play Station) - isn't it ironic that Victa
promoted lawnmowing as fun to do a few decades ago.
